    The actual recipe yields per serving about 1 cup of chicken & sauce and 1/2 c. of rice for 323 calories per serving. The recipe makes about 4 servings. It's quite delicious, light, but spicy hot, so adjust your pepper flakes according to your taste or omit. - 3/13/08

    My first time making this dish at home. Absolutely tasty! I added 1 egg, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp wine to coat the chicken with before browning. - 1/2/08

    Very Good
    It seems funny when "dieters" complain Asian recipes don't taste like their favorite Americanized overly-sugared, battered, deep-fried foods. Grow up please. - 6/14/21
